I'm currently working on a project and I've come across a problem which I'm
sure has been discussed several times before but I still need some
assistance on it.
I have a page with a form whose action is $PHP_SELF so the form and the form
action are all in the same page....this works fine but in the form action a
message is displayed stating success or failure of the insertion of data
into a database and the user is redirected by means of a meta
refersh....during this time if the user refreshes the page the data is
resubmitted again....the user can do this repeatedly....
Some people have suggested that I use headers but I cannot do this at this
point because I've already sent the header...
others have suggested I use some variable
$script_ran_count = 1 then run and after increment so a test of it would be
false...this had no effect
others have suggested javascript...
I'm really baffled...how can I have a self-submitting form page that has a
display message and a meta redirect but if the user refreshes the page stop
the resumission of data?

Chad Guilette
